Part of a Complete Line
The conveyor feeds your weigher and packaging machine, and we can plan them together.
Packaging MachineryIs a pendulum bucket conveyor the same as a Z-type bucket elevator?
Yes. Pendulum bucket conveyors are often called Z-type bucket elevators, after the Z-shaped bucket path of the Z-type layout. Ours are also built in a C-type layout.
What products can it handle?
Grains and cereals, rice, seeds and pulses, nuts and dried fruit, salt and sugar, snacks and confectionery, feed and pet food, coffee and cocoa, and plastic granules. It is not suitable for liquids or slurries.
What is the difference between the Hygienic and Standard versions?
Both work the same way. The Hygienic version uses ABB electrics and an SEW geared motor. The Standard version uses Schneider switches, an Inovance VFD and a GUOMAO geared motor. Choose by your product, cleaning needs and line standards.
What is the throughput?
10–20 m³/h, depending on the model. This is a volume. Your kg/h is the m³/h multiplied by your product's bulk density.
Which layouts are available?
Z-type and C-type, with lifts up to 25 m. Infeed and discharge are built to your drawing.
Does it reduce product breakage?
It is designed to reduce transfers: product is loaded once and discharged once, with no chutes in between. Breakage depends on the product, so we test fragile products first.
How is it delivered?
Shipped in sections, ready to lift in, with English manuals. Lead time is 30 days ex-works.
